Prince of Tennis: Ryoma's Mysterious Sister, Echizen Ryoka!

~Ch 24~ Lady Luck's Love or Hate? Part 2

Ryoka's POV:

...

I know that I am not a normal girl. I'm not bragging, not really. I have great hearing, so I'm not blind to all the rumors or the gossip about me. People say I'm strange. Their was even a time where someone told me that I don't really have humanity understanding.

But even I have enough humanity sense to say.

...

This is seriously awkward.

...

Not that I would tell them of course. That's no fun. I smiled a polite prince-like smile at them, "Its nice to see you again, Rikkadai-chan~" I said with a light teasing tone at the end. The seaweed head, what was his name again? Kirihara, I think? Well, he suddenly became red and went into dramatic noisy mode.

"AHHH!!!! YOUR THAT COOL PRINCE LOOKING PERSON THAT ACTUALLY HAD A DECENT MATCH WITH SANADA-BUCHOU!!!!" He pointed at me. How rude. And noisy.

"Oyama, its the noisy seaweed head." I said out loud as I stared blankly at him with a hand on my chin as if in slight surprise.

"OI!! ITS KIRIHARA AKAYA!!! REMEMBER THAT!!" I turned back around closing my eyes with a sigh, I took a sip of my green tea. "Ah. Sou? Watashi wa name Hiro, yoroshiku!" I said with a bright smile.

"I ALREADY KNOW THAT!! DON'T BE SO INNOCENT!!"

I tipped my head and gave a pouty look, well aware that stars and sparkles were around me, "What do you mean, Kirihara-san, I was just being polite."

"THAT!!! THAT'S WHAT I MEAN!!! DON'T DO THAT SPARKLE LOOK!!! He pointed at me dramatically again. Taku... Pointing is rude, they don't teach kids anything these days... (Shin-chan: He's older then you, Ryoka-chan...)

No one's POV:

The rest of the somewhat more mature (actually, scratch that, the less childish) Rikkadai tennis club watched in the. . . . entertaining argument.

Actually, it was only Kirihara who was arguing, Hiro was pretty much retorting calmly with a fresh smile. Definitely enjoying this...

Yukimura snapped out of his silent shock and gave his usual kind smile. "Hiro-kun! It's so nice to see you again! Were you planning to eat here as well?" Hiro turned his attention to Yukimura and eyed him up and down. 'Who was he again.....? Ah! That's right, the captain. The 'Child of God..' Hmm.. it must be a pain to live up to such a name.' Ryoka thought.

Yukimura, on the other hand, was kind of uncomfortable to be under that sharp deep bright green and the other sparkly golden gaze. He felt a slight blood rush around his face, but he absolutely refused to blush. Ryoka, with her sharp eyes, kind of noticed this. She raised an eyebrow at him, but smiled, hoping it might relax whatever uncomfortable feelings he felt. Yukimura who obviously got this, was touched and embarrassed. He hid it behind a smile.

The rest of the Rikkadai regulars were not dumb-

...

Ok, maybe a little (Ryoka admitted it even though she only knew them for a few hours), but they are sharp. And some of them saw this mini silent conversation. Niou (I think that was his name) gave a mischievous smile, while Yanagi gave a small smile, "How interesting..." Ryoka heard him mutter under his breath. Sanada seemed to look confusingly at Yukimura. Marui snickered, while Kirihara looked quite lost.

Jackal, being the mother one of the group, decided to save Yukimura. "Were you planning to eat here, Hiro-kun?" He asked. Hiro, turned to him and gave a polite princely smile. "Well, under some unpleasant circumstances, I ended up being stuck at Kanagawa for the night, since the last train to Tokyo already left.
